    If it weren't for some U-Boats, I'd say it's the ugliest watch I've ever seen :pale:

    I agree 100% apart from some grahams its by far the uggliest watch I have ever seen and £12k im sorry I woudnt pay £12 its fugly beyond words I would rather have a JLC,Patek or AP for that and at least people will like them this is just beyond words, I think a 5 years old child could have done better in fact it looks like and airfix kit gone wrong

    Looks like a Vent Axia. But if one came along at the right price I'd consider it.

    I'm thinking it's an acquired taste.

    It's just not a taste that I can ever see myself acquiring.

    The old boss of Zenith responsible for these hideous things have resigned hasn't he? I can“t remember his name though.
    I saw a new Zenith Model, can't remember name yet again, which was much nicer and true to the Zenith heritage. I hope I wasn't just dreaming.
    Can anyone confirm this?

    Cheers

    That is fairly typical of the Nataf era for his Defys.
    It isn't my cup of tea but then I was not part of the target... So my opinion is worth less than 2p in that case :D
    However, considering how many people working for Zenith lamented TN's departure immediately, and considering that one of Dufour's first moves was a public humiliation of 59 employees made redundant; Considering the 1887 saga and JCB's attempt to say he did not know (I wonder who signed the agreement with Seiko then) I have come to expect little from LVMH group.

    And Zenith used to be among my favourite brands

    While its not my taste at all and the price not justified, the built quality and detail is impressive; will not be easy to sell at 12K though.
    Had a chance to handle a few in the past year. Wonder if they will get a cult status in the future; now that Nataf :roll: is gone and Zenith is taking a new direction.

    Just think, you could have a Patek for that, or a Blancpain, or, well anything that someone who had any appreciation of horology would appleal too...

    THAT (zenith)on the other hand , is a marketing mans dogs dinner.... :sad3:

    I 'll agree with this quote - now the tourbillon version of this - not the zero G is a watch I covet.

    Yes, horrible. But don't be too hard on Nataf. His unreadable face with exposed movement formula also produced some rather nicer results. Not many but some. Well I think so anyway.

    Yes or No, it is still ug-i-ly.

    i,ve just returned from cheshire oaks they now have tag heur outlet they had this particular model inside the shop in titainium,rrp£16k reduced to around 8k,there were also afew other models including the reserve de marche,retailing about 6k reduced to just under 3k, i wouldn,t say it was ugly but i felt the same way about the rolex deep sea when i saw that too big and would wear like a brick,the de marche i felt looked quite elegant and would hold it,s own with any rolex and with a 3k reduction looked quite tempting.
